But Lu Mingfei's method of changing the topic was too blunt. Not to mention that Uesugi Yue didn't buy his account, even his uncle and aunt didn't say anything to Lu Mingfei for a while.
This cannot be blamed on my uncle and aunt being too snobbish about money or too greedy for money. After all, it is more than 100 billion yen. It is impossible for ordinary people to see this astronomical amount in their lifetime. This amount of money is enough to buy any skyscraper in Japan.
If the world does not break out into a war or a large-scale plague extermination or a zombie crisis, this money will be deposited in the bank in batches, and ordinary people will not be able to spend it all in ten lifetimes just from the interest.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Lu Mingfei wisely closed his mouth and pretended to be silent. For a while, the only sound in the entire ramen stall was the rustling of noodles and the sound of drinking soup. Uesugoshi looked at Eri and Eri from time to time.
Yi looked at Lu Mingfei, his uncle looked at his aunt, his aunt looked at his uncle, Lu Mingze looked at his parents while eating noodles, and Lu Mingfei looked at everyone secretly with a sly look.
The noodles were finished. Everyone had finished. Lu Mingfei was probably the last one. He was afraid that he would just stare blankly after finishing the noodles first... But even if he was the last one to finish it, it would not make any difference. Lu Mingfei took the noodles.
The bowl was placed on the table, and the ramen stall was completely silent. The boiling pot had stopped, and the frozen cured fish was placed on the chopping board in the dry winter atmosphere.
Lu Mingfei felt something soft touch him. He lowered his head and saw that it was Eliyi's cell phone, which was quietly stretched out from under the table. Perhaps sensing Lu Mingfei's anxious mood, Eiliyi stretched out her hand.
I probably came here to appease him.
Lu Mingfei was overjoyed. Just when he was about to hold Eriki's hand, a sudden cough interrupted his movement. Lu Mingfei suddenly looked up and found Uesugoshi staring at him with raised eyebrows. He should have
After noticing Lu Mingfei and Eriki's sneaky moves under the table, the warning in Uesugi Yue's eyes was self-evident.
Lu Mingfei had no choice but to give up holding Eliyi's soft little hand. He retracted his hand sarcastically, and couldn't help complaining in his heart. Wasn't it your daughter's initiative? She was unwilling to hurt her own daughter and could only teach him, an outsider, a lesson. The old guy still
Really incompetent!
The dull atmosphere was broken by Uesugoshi's cough. At this time, someone had to speak. The uncle, the head of the family, stepped forward to break the awkward atmosphere.
"Mr. Uesugi, your business is so successful, why do you settle here to sell ramen?" The uncle tentatively asked Uesugi, "I have been selling ramen for decades. Is it a hobby? Or just to experience life?
?”
"It's not money earned from business. I've never done business. The only business that can be considered a small business is setting up a stall here to sell ramen." Uesugi shook his head, "Do you suspect that Eri is fostered by me in a certain family?
In fact, it’s not quite right, because I used to be from that family, but by some strange combination of circumstances, I didn’t realize how many children I had.”
"Oh oh oh, is it the kind of plot in a wealthy family where a high-status person makes the maid or nanny pregnant, and the servants secretly give birth to the child without the owner knowing about it?" Lu Mingze suddenly interrupted,
"I've read about it in novels."
As expected, he is a descendant of the old Lu family. Like his cousin Lu Ming, he has inherited the talent of bad words and irrespective of the situation. As soon as Lu Mingze said what he said out of his head, he received the stern looks of his uncle and aunt.
The fat man shrank his neck, knowing that he had said the wrong thing, so he sat in the corner and drank ramen soup with his head buried.
"Mr. Uesugi, I'm sorry." My aunt quickly said to Uesugi apologetically, "The kid spent a lot of time online during his adolescence. He's a bit rebellious and doesn't know what to say. Don't take his words to heart."
After learning about Uesugoshi's astonishing net worth, my aunt became obviously much more polite, and Uesugoshi said that he was once a member of that "family". My aunt finally knew that this seemingly ordinary ramen chef did have a strong background, and it was not something she could do.
He who could afford to offend had completely put away his scornful attitude at this moment.
"I did do a lot of wrong things when I was young. I'm not a good person, but I have changed my mind over the years of selling ramen." Uesugoshi didn't care about it like a child, "The situation is very complicated. Over sixty
There were some conflicts between my family and I a few years ago, and I have not been back in these years. The land I just took away from my family was also an asset in my name. I feel guilty and resentful towards my family, and I took it with me.
I don’t regret taking away the land deed, but I haven’t used it to make any money over the years.”
"Then old sir, your life experience is really touching." The aunt nodded, and couldn't help but asked curiously, "How big is a piece of land worth billions of dollars? Can your Japanese land be bought and sold?
"
"Unlike you in China, land in Japan is not state-owned, and both the use rights and ownership can be changed and transferred." Uesugoshi explained, "In fact, the area of the land is not very big, but the housing prices in Tokyo have been rising, and this area
It is relatively close to the central area, and real estate values have been increasing in recent years...probably this whole street and the houses on both sides of it."
Uesugoshi pointed to this end of the street, and then pointed to the other end of the street. Uncle and aunt were shocked again... Uesugoshi was not pointing to this dim alley, but to an entire complete street.
This road located in the backstreet of National University of Tokyo has never been used for commercial development, so it looks extremely empty.
In fact, the Tokyo government and several leading companies in Tokyo have already identified this prime piece of land, which is adjacent to top universities and very close to the city center. If a complete business district is built on this land, this area will
The annual output value of the street is simply immeasurable!
There are too many people who have this idea, but no matter how huge and powerful the power is, they all end up in trouble. They have never even seen the real owner of this land... Uesugoshi is such a stubborn guy.
, the things he doesn’t want to sell can’t be exchanged for a thousand dollars.
"Japan, a small country as big as a palm, can have such a large piece of land... It's not appropriate for us to be a huge landowner!" Auntie looked around at a piece of land as big as a city block and couldn't help but sigh.
"This land no longer belongs to me. Apart from this ramen stand, this is the only asset in my name." Uesugi said in a lonely tone.
"With so much money, you can give it away as soon as you say it. Why don't you leave yourself some way out? There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and this person will be born, old, sick, and die." Even the uncle who is not a money worshiper couldn't help but say with heartache and pity,
But he immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, "Of course Mr. Uesugi, you are in good health. I mean, haven't you thought about leaving some money for emergencies? For example, have you considered your children?"
and future generations.”
"My two sons both have their own careers. They take money very lightly and do not need my financial assistance." Uesugoshi's eyes fell on Eriko, and even his tone became gentle,
"Of course Eriyi is something I have to consider. From now on, 25% of the street's annual commercial revenue will be automatically transferred to Eriyi's account, which should be enough to meet her daily expenses. This is my personal
It doesn’t matter if it’s not enough, Eryi’s brother said that the balance in Eryi’s own account has assets exceeding nine digits.”
The uncle and the aunt looked at each other, subconsciously opening their mouths, and couldn't help but gasp. It seems that this little girl is a rich little girl herself, the best kind... What a tyrannical family this is.
, the elderly who leave home take away land worth more than one billion US dollars at any time. A little girl in the family has a nine-digit savings in US dollars. The Japanese Prime Minister's family is not so rich, right?
Lu Mingfei winked wildly at Uesugi Yue, signaling Uesugi Yue not to continue this topic with his uncle and aunt, but Uesugi Yue acted as if he hadn't seen it and completely ignored Lu Mingfei's eyes.
Aunt and uncle looked at each other with a tacit understanding. They had been married for more than 20 years. Uncle immediately understood what his aunt was saying, so he took a deep breath and asked Uesugi Yue.
"Mr. Uesugi, your family's situation is really...unusual." The uncle rubbed his hands nervously and said as tactfully as possible, "Although Mingfei is an outstanding child who studied abroad with a full scholarship, his parents also
There are elites flying all over the country, but the situation of Mingfei's family...the economic level and so on are still too different from your family. If Mingfei and Eri get married, we, as Mingfei's elders, will definitely be responsible, but
You see...as for this bride price, our financial situation is really limited."
"There is no custom of bride price in Japan." Uesugi shook his head. He had already seen the couple's little thoughts.
The uncle and aunt looked at each other, both of them were overjoyed. They were also worried that Uesugoshi would have such a big industry, and the family's big business would be a big deal. Although Lu Mingfei was lucky enough to become a wealthy son-in-law, if he couldn't pass the threshold of a wealthy family, what would happen to everything?
No need to talk about it.
For ordinary people like uncles and aunts, this kind of wealthy family with deposits and donations often in the hundreds of millions is like a magical story in a TV series. At this moment, they are still confused when meeting them up close, and they are afraid that Uesugi Koshi will ask Lu Ming if he opens his mouth.
They would not be willing to marry their daughter unless they had to pay hundreds or tens of millions in betrothal gifts. Although they have to be responsible for their nephew, they can only provide reasonable support. It is impossible to sell their house and property to provide for their nephew to marry a wife, right? What's more, it's not necessarily possible to sell it.
enough.
And now that the other party doesn't even need a bride price, wouldn't the biggest obstacle to marriage be overcome? As expected of a Yamato nation and a wealthy family, although his character is shameless in some aspects, he is also truly heroic in some aspects.
Auntie took the opportunity to wink at uncle again, and uncle understood.
"Mr. Uesugi, do you have any expectations or requirements regarding the size and venue of the wedding?" the uncle asked cautiously.
Because in China, it is a rule that the groom pays for the wedding expenses, but Chinese weddings usually receive a share of the wedding expenses commensurate with the size of the wedding... Unless it is a wedding of a wealthy family, it is well known that weddings of wealthy families always lose money.
business, because for them, face and showing strength are far more important than financial gains.
But according to what they knew about the size of Eriyi's family, holding a wedding worthy of their status would have to cost at least an astronomical amount, right?
"I haven't thought about this link." At this point, Uesugi glanced at Lu Mingfei coldly.
Lu Mingfei shrank his neck with great self-knowledge. It was probably the words of his uncle and aunt that reminded Uesugi of the scene when Lu Mingfei proposed to Eriki in Takamagahara. The old guy's resentment towards him has not been dispelled to this day.
"But even if we get to that step, we must at least book the Meiji Shrine in Tokyo or the Water Cathedral in Hokkaido." Uesugi Yue glanced at Eri, "My daughter doesn't need a luxurious wedding, but I can't let it happen.
She married unjustly!"
Lu Mingfei had already calculated in his mind how much it would cost to book the Meiji Shrine or the Water Cathedral for a few days. He also calculated his savings. It would definitely be enough. If it was not enough, he could also ask Su Enxi to borrow it. Lu Mingfei
I don’t think Uesugoshi’s request is outrageous or exaggerated at all, because as Uesugoshi said, the day when a girl puts on her wedding dress is an event that will be remembered for a lifetime. He is no longer the bad boy who has never seen the world. It is impossible
Give Eriyi a shabby and humiliating wedding.
But the uncle and aunt didn't know the situation. They had never even heard of Shio Ando's Water Church, but they knew that Meiji Jingu, the largest shrine in Tokyo, would be unimaginable to hold a wedding there.
The number, as well as the wedding car, emcee, food and drinks, etc., must at least match the scale, right?
Thinking of this, both uncle and aunt turned pale with fright. Although they did not need to be responsible for their nephew's wedding, Lu Mingfei's parents were not around. As the younger generation living in their house, how could they be justified if they did not help?
"Someone will be responsible for the wedding." Uesugoshi gave his uncle and aunt another reassurance. He whispered, "I just met my daughter not long ago, so it is difficult to accept that she is getting married soon, but since this is Eri
I can only accept what I have agreed to, and I don’t want my daughter’s wedding to encounter any obstacles.”
Unable to notice Uesugi's slightly lonely tone, his uncle and aunt were completely relieved. It seemed that his nephew had really picked up a treasure this time. Seeing that the situation was determined, the aunt turned her head and blinked at her uncle crazily, glancing at her from time to time.
In the direction of Lu Mingze.
The meaning is obvious. Lu Mingfei will have nothing to worry about in the future, but Lu Mingze is his son. After considering his nephew's happiness, he should also consider his own son. This family sounds powerful, Lu Mingze
If you marry her daughter, you will become a relative of your own. Maybe you can follow this vine to find a promising and promising future for your son?
The uncle was also in trouble for a while. As a father, of course he also hoped that his son could have an open future like his nephew... But he really didn't know how to open his mouth. Even if he had a relationship, he would go to his nephew's fiancée's natal family.
